ARTISTS STATEMENT

I don't know why I did this. Nakedness is so normal and yet it seems that so much taboo surrounds it. Maybe I want to be free, maybe I want my nakedness to be pronounced and acknowledged. I think there's a bit of a double-standard - this commonly accepted notion to sexualise women and put us on billboards with idealistic standards whilst being naked or sexual in the private confines of your room has to be all hush hush. We're sexual beings, we're human so let's stop caring about it so much.
